Treatments and Procedures

The orthopedic team at Norwalk Hospital uses the latest, most advanced technology available to provide expert treatment, surgical and non-surgical, including sports medicine and the full range of orthopedic conditions. We offer the complete continuum of multidisciplinary care for musculoskeletal conditions, including physical therapy and rehabilitation:

Arthroplasty: Surgery to replace, repair or resurface a joint affected by arthritis.

Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgical technique to repair injury to a joint

Closed reduction: A non-surgical method of setting a fractured bone in place so it can heal.

Core decompression: A surgical procedure to treat avascular necrosis by drilling a small hole into the diseased bone, often followed by a bone graft.

Fixation: Surgery to implant a permanent rod to secure a broken bone.

Joint replacement and partial joint replacement: Surgery to replace, fully or partially, a damaged joint with an artificial one.

Medical Management: Medication can be used for pain relief or to address the underlying causes of the inflammation, illness or injury that is causing discomfort.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): A two-part surgery to fix broken bones. The first step is putting the bone back in place; the second step is securing it with an internal “fixation” device.
